Brain-Computer Interfaces
Part I:
What is NOT a BCI
7
Let’s play a small game
8
Definitions
9
Interface: noun [C] a situation, method, or place
where two things come together and have an
effect on each other. [Cambridge dictionary]
A BCI is a system that translates measures of brain
activity into commands or messages for an
interactive application

Passive BCI paradigms
23
A passive BCI is a system estimating one or several mental states from
the user – without any voluntary action from this user – to adapt a
human-computer interaction accordingly
